PULUTAN: In and Out (Part 2)

Thorsten is back! munter werden! now i present to you the
continuation of the in and outs of PULUTAN. I've discussed
de-latas, de-sarsas and sitsiryas. Here's more!Inihaw - grill anything if you can, inihaws are ideal pulutans.In - I don't know 'bout you but for me it's Pusit! plus add
some Tilapia or Bangus, well that's perfect.Out - You know Liempo, Barbq and the likes tastes great but
please if you serve it as pulutan it might as well be chopped
into bits and pieces if you don't want it gone within minutes.

Pinirito - Its your easy way out, just fry something.

In - Squidballs are not really pulutan material but i love it.
Most of you will disagree with Crispy Pata, but deep inside you're
craving.

Out - Itik fails to satisfy me, its like you're begging for meat
with this one. My advice if you really like itik, go get it from
Victoria, Laguna (the Amazing Race route) they got some fat
ass itiks down there.

De Sabaw - We definitely need some soup, especially

In - Lomi is great, tasty yet not heavy. This one depends on
the way it was prepared.

Out - Remember don't make your ulam your pulutan. Nilaga &
sinigang are definitely out. If ya can't help it, bulalo is nice but
without the meat.

Here are some pulutan tips that i can share for better drinking sessions.

Always make an effort to make it spicy, it's rule no. 1 for me.

Put veggies, it helps.

Don't forget onions, garlic etc.

If you have something exotic then serve it. (I like those fried frogs.)

Last thing, always remember that it all depends on the number of people drinking.

I hope this will help. but knowing pinoys, i think that its not
really necessary. prepare whatever you have and they'll eat
it. prepare nothing and the next thing you'll know you've got
plenty. ok. Merry drinking to all! Fröhliche Weihnachten!

PULUTAN: In and Out

Hallo! Guten Tag! This is Thorsten, a fil-german, a good friend of Sumilang Mountaineers. We've been drinking buddies for quite sometime and i learned a lot from them especially about PULUTAN. At first i don't like the idea of eating before drinking because it will just make your belly huge but ever since i eat pulutan everytime and i love it. Ich bin sehr dafür. Now i want to share my thoughts on which pulutan is IN or OUT for me. You don't need to agree but this is my opinion. Hab Spaß!

First stop is the Sitsiryas - this is the most common, you can get it anywhere.In - mani comes first coz its mani no need to explain. mani are easily consumed but i dont think that its a disadvantage. Next is cornik, i highly recommended Boy Bawang. this baby is awesome, u know that.Out - potato chips are not worthy pulutan its better to eat them at home watching a
movie, get it. better get corn chips instead. Out is Nilagang mani, its the same nuts
why struggle opening it and littering in the process.De Sarsa - Ha! Ha! Ha! One of my favorites, i like them alot.In - Let me tell you Kalderatang Kambing is a winner, its the most delicious thing
i've ever tasted. Dinuguan is also a good choice because u can hide the contents
from the sauce. Hey! thats a trick so drinkers won't notice. Most de-sarsa come from
occasional parties like weddings, christenings and the like so you get em free.Out - I like almost all of the de-sarsa but i just don't like LITID covered with i don't
know what then it sticks to every corner of your mouth. it sucks!De Lata - This is a choice if you have no choices. i mean if u can't come up with
anything. it better be canned goods.In - Maling, u know! just add tomatoes, onions and its done. Another nice de-lata
wud be Tuna, u can add Skyflakes in it and you crush them together but be sure to
get the spicy tuna.Out - Corned beef. Yes its there but don't u think that its wat u wud eat the next day
if you ran out of food in your haus. Sardines! its great but i think i rather eat em
together with my Pandesal.This is all that i can write today but there's still more to come.... like inihaw, pritos, soups, salad, fruits, veggies and more. just stay tuned here at Sumilang's blogspot. Du bist wohl nicht recht gescheit!
